The history of four-footed beasts and serpents... - Biodiversity Heritage Library The Biodiversity Heritage Library works collaboratively to make biodiversity literature openly available to the world as part of a global biodiversity community.

I'd suggest starting with Thomas Moffett's Theater of Insects, here in the 1658 English translation published along wth Topsell's natural histories: www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/151513#...

My first computer was a Radio Shack TRS-80 with 16 KB of RAM, Level 2 BASIC, and a cassette tape deck for storage. But the first computer I used productively was a Compaq Portable, which I persuaded my dad to buy in 1984. I used it to lay out a newsletter and other Boy Scout stuff. I used WordStar.
